Audio Layering Tool

This tool provides a focused, non‑DAW workflow for layering and mixing multiple audio tracks into a single cohesive stereo output. It targets music producers, podcasters, and sound designers who want predictable, repeatable results without learning a full studio DAW. Users import audio tracks, name and order them, and set per‑track gains, pan positions, mute/solo states, and routing to submix buses.
In concept, each input becomes a track with an independent signal path. The mixer applies per‑track gain and pan, routes signals to buses as configured, and then processes the resulting mix through an optional mastering chain (EQ, compression, limiter, and loudness normalization). Effects can be chained per track or globally.
Benefits include faster iteration cycles, consistent loudness across projects, and easy collaboration because stems and metadata are exportable. The tool supports common formats (WAV, MP3, FLAC), adjustable sample rates, and metadata handling. Users can also export per‑track stems for handoff to a full DAW or mastering engineer.
Core differentiators are deterministic mixing order, built‑in loudness targets, and batch export capabilities. The tool emphasizes data integrity (non‑destructive edits, headroom guarding) and clear metering, enabling professionals to deliver professional‑sounding results with fewer steps.
